Baez Back in Detroit Sparks Tigers | Detroit Tigers News

Javier Baez is back in Detroit after a three-month absence, activated from the 60-day injured list and ready to ignite the Tigers’ struggling season.

Baez, now expected to play center field and pinch-hit, brings defensive versatility and clubhouse energy, especially with two off days coming up. Manager Hinch called it a “spark” the team desperately needs as they chase a turnaround with a 50-57 record. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
